“I pick up litter in front of my apartment on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.”
1. Tools
If you are in NY, sign up for “Adopt Your Spot” at sanitation foundation.
You get the tools you need, like a grabber and trash bags, for free.
It takes 3 weeks to receieve them. It might be easier to buy on amazon.
Tools Reference
- Grabber
- Gloves
- Trash Bags
- Broom
- Dustpan
2. When to clean
Suggestion: 7 am
I recommend going out early in the morning, around 6:45 or 7 a.m.
The streets are more quiet.
Waking up early also gives you more time afterward.
3. How to Clean
Don’t try to clean the whole area.
Just focus on your step and pick one at a time.
Clean as much as you can, and as much as you want.
4. How to Continue
Start small.
You can do this once or twice a week.
If you enjoy it, come back more.
It is like workout.
You wouldn’t start squatting 225 lbs on your first day.
Find a rhythm you can sustain.
This is not an event. It is a practice.
5. How to Play
I say hello to people I see again.
They’ll start saying hello too
Some people say thank you.
A local coffee shop, Park at Kims, once gave me a cup of coffee and they also clean the street.
